it’s funny how most of people’s thoughts on wotfi 2025 was yaoi & puzzles actually dying
..and then SMG4 said he was ending the series in December-
There’s NOTHING on the fact so many old villains including past versions of redeemed/dead ones came back even if just for a rap they only got one line in each
I had expected atleast one bit of fanart of the villains
and on ao3 its just more yaoi (and like one fic about 3 being conflicted over seeing his past self)
i have nothing against the ship but theres prime fanfic material sitting RIGHT there and nobodies doing anything about it
like “what if the villains had also been displaced in time before they came out of the portal and caused further chaos with other SMG4 characters having to suffer through it or try to stop it (such as Ax0l/Zero/Niles ending up in classic SMG4 episodes and tried capturing a past version of Mario)”
“What if wren, ztar (super old villain from classic SMG4 that I’ve seen a few people mention didn’t show up if you didn’t know), rapper bob arc! Bob, It’s Gotta Be Perfect: SMG4 & Leggy showed up”
“What if a past version of puzzles (say, from his first appearance) had also shown up”
“Where did everyone else go while 4, Mario, Puzzles and WPNZ were going through older episodes when they weren’t on screen”
if I wasn’t such a bad writer I’d probably try to write at least one of these myself
